Authentication

Every endpoint in this reference authenticates the same way: a Bearer API key in the Authorization header. Generate that key once in the dashboard, then reuse it for every call below.

1. Create a key in the dashboard​

Sign up or log in to the web app, then go to Account & keys → New key. Copy the key now — it's shown only once.

2. Export it as an environment variable​

export ACRUXCORE_API_KEY="<paste your key>"
# Hosted: https://api.acruxcore.com/api/v1 · Local dev: http://localhost:3001/api/v1
export ACRUXCORE_BASE_URL="https://api.acruxcore.com/api/v1"

3. Send it on every request​

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACRUXCORE_API_KEY" "$ACRUXCORE_BASE_URL/prompts"

Every curl example in this reference uses $ACRUXCORE_API_KEY and $ACRUXCORE_BASE_URL this same way — set the two variables once per shell session and every example below is copy-pasteable as-is.

:::note A few endpoints are dashboard-only, not API-key Signing up, logging in, and team/member management (invites, roles) happen through a browser session, not a Bearer token — there's no practical reason to script them, so they aren't documented here. Creating, editing, and deleting a prompt are also dashboard-session-only today (see the note on the Prompts page) — read, search, and version endpoints work fine with your Bearer key. :::
